Motocross, Motocross, Motocross







It was an amazing weekend at the track! The Baja Brawl is one of the biggest regional races with over 900 bikes competing. There were soooo many people there. Motocross Boy and Dad left on Thursday evening and practiced on Friday afternoon. Motocross Boy took one lap on the big track, that had been completely rebuilt that week, and said "no way". I was proud of him for that. It's a tough track on a good day and they made it harder than ever. He entered the trail class and Dad was going to tear down his pit bike to put his stock equipment back on until a friend offered up his daughter's Honda for him. Turned out to be a very lucky bike! He pulled two firsts on Saturday in very close races. Then Sunday-Monday was a 3 moto race and Motocross Boy took a 1st, 2nd, 2nd but for a 1st Place overall win!!! The photos show how he took an early lead but was neck in neck with a LOT of racers close on his tail coming into an early turn. Later on he pulled out leaving only two guys in hot pursuit but it was a battle every minute of the way. The result was this SIX FOOT TALL trophy!! Holy smokes I don't know where we are going to put that thing but isn't that awesome?

We are all so tired but we've showered and gotten the laundry started so all is good and I have one very proud little guy in my house!
